| What are some anime female leads you consider to be the most realistic to how real girls are? In my view there are at least 5 qualities that make a female character resemble a real person: !) Distinctive hobbies and goals. 2) Realistic intelligence level, not too stupid, dense or too smart. 3) No over the top undeserved violence or whining, or too shy to talk to a guy they like. 4) They wear normal, everyday clothing and not extravagant outfits. 5) They have other close female or male friends, no missing parents. Bonus points if they have a normal sense of humor and aren't repulsed by sexual topics. Characters that sort fit in my opinion: Robin (excluding the 5th one), Yagami Kou, Mion Sonozaki, Chitanda, Aoyama Nanami, Chisa Kotegawa, etc. |

| In Shirobako you can find a LOT of that. |
| Chitanda is too cute to be realistic |
 |
| she was pretty gosh darned realistic https://myanimelist.net/character/26952/Mayumi |
 |
God damn, you win this thread once again. |
| To be fair, your average rom-com tsundere is a good portrayal of a real girl. I mean, when I try to help pure maidens and tip my fedora, they always get angry and some even try to assault me. Wtf, life is unfair. |
 |
| Yuki Minakami from SubaHibi Many SoL centered anime tend to have this, lol |
 |
| If we wanted "realistic" females, we wouldn't be watching anime. Anime as a whole is idealistic representations for characters, with a healthy dose of exaggerated characteristics. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |

| Idk , Misato or Ritsuko Akagi from NGE , Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop , any character from any manga by Inio Asano . |
| I'd wager to say that Murano from Parasyte could be considered realistic (^: |
| Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables is by far one of the most realistically portrays 11-year olds I've ever seen Truly some great picks right here! :D Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Adachi Mitsuru girls are usually quite realistic and down to earth as far as I can tell. I'd also mention Oniisama e... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Watching Yojouhan right now, Akashi seems fitting. |

| Most of the cast from Oniisama e, Nana and Shirobako (if you exclude Kunogi). As for individual characters, Saki from Genshiken and Anne from Akage no Anne are my favourite characters that I'd consider the most realistic. |
 |
| Maybe the girls from Mizuiro Jidai, a very straight forward Shoujo anime. Those girls were just about as normal as you can get. |
| The problems lies in the fact that no matter how you look at it, the best way to dig around the community is spread ecchi related thread. Realistic in a sense is too good to mention in my waifus if you ask me. They're beyond that, they're not merely a pigment of human qualities. They stood at the top of us and we, as their slaves worship them. |

Don't worry, resisting is one of the sign that you have the tsundere quality. And I must say that you're far better that most... |
| Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran HSHC acts pretty realistic. She is involved in an abnormal situation, but if you're gonna include Mion, I think Haruhi is fair game as well. |
| You are now breathing manually. |
| Erin from Kemono no Souja Erin. I don't know if she's really similar to a nowadays real girl but she's so damn good written according to the series setting. |
 |
| *L A I N* I mean.. she's a wired and also had a god complex.. + 10 From the way she wears (Lain's Bearsuit)  |
| Hajime from Gatchaman Crowds is pretty realistic because I can never tell what girls are thinking lel |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| no one can beat my girl nodame from nodame cantabile (dabs) |
| Maybe Yoko Shiraki from Ashita no Joe. |
 |
| Inaba Himeko is definitely the most unrealistic female. |
| Any girl from Hibike! Euphonium, or at least the ones that aren't just background characters. |
 |
| I thought realistic characters are a bit boring. - I want my female characters to be super strong and can hold up on her own and is a leader (example: Erza) - I want my female characters to be super smart like, sherlock holmes or eisntein level of smart (example: Victorique, Kurisu) - I want my female characters to be a bit funny on the head or maybe batshit crazy is nice too (example: Yuno, Rena) - Women in armor is my aesthetic (example: Erza, Saber) Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I think a realistic anime female character would be Akiho Senomiya from Robotics Notes. 1. Likes robotics and want to built a life size robot. 2) She is smart in robotic engineering but average intelligence else where. 3) She is an optimistic girl but she is not too happy. 4) She wares normal clothing no fan service clothes. 5) Both of her parents are alive and she has close male and female friends.  |

| never seen that, is that even exist in anime? |
  |
| That's a bit subjective. Western girls behave differently from Japanese girls (whom anime characters are based on). |

| The girl from NHK acts a lot like somebody I know, Misato from NGE. Has personal and relationship problems, personality is affected by events, drinks a totally reasonable amount. Idk who else, I don't watch a lot of anime that would produce those characters. Animate Solanin, so I can see the perfectly accurate anime version of my best friend and get depressed about it. |
 |
| Even I'm not a realistic female based on your description. Are those some sort of western standards? Leaving aside point 4, your description itself sounds unrealistic to me. |

Maou_heika said: Even I'm not a realistic female based on your description. Are those some sort of western standards? Leaving aside point 4, your description itself sounds unrealistic to me. From what I have seen how women in my country are, they are very different from the women that usually show up in anime. They're more outgoing, social, have unique interests, other stuff. I never met a girl that behaves like the typical tsundere, yandere, kuudere, dandere, etc. Of course that's what I have seen around my area, maybe @Wasshio can provide a different observation. |
| Last part of point 5 is really uncalled for imo. Anyway, Kou Shuurei from saiunkoku monogatari is both realistic and an amazingly written character. She also fits to a "t" all your points except that (IIRC) "no missing parent" part. Which, like I said, is uncalled for anyway. Also, Ayase Yue from Mahou Sensei Negima fits your criteria, and is another great character. |

| Can I just mention how unrealistic your "realistic" expectations are? SuperRed said: Not everyone has clear goals, but I do find that girls tend to be better at this than guys.1) Distinctive hobbies and goals. SuperRed said: Go YouTube, search "my world is getting dumber". You'd be surprise how dense some people really are.2) Realistic intelligence level, not too stupid, dense or too smart. SuperRed said: Well... aside from the violence part that makes sense generally. Many people that I'd consider normal like to moan and hesitate when approaching a guy they like. Might be a cultural thing, but yeah they are real people.3) No over the top undeserved violence or whining, or too shy to talk to a guy they like. SuperRed said: It's all relative, where would you draw the line where it'd be "extravagant"? I think any amount spent on makeup and beauty products is a excessive waste of money. And before I get lumped in with most guys, I think guys need to wash their faces more. I personally wipe my face with a wet towel maybe 3 times a day (more if I'm doing activities that make me sweat), my skin's fine.4) They wear normal, everyday clothing and not extravagant outfits. SuperRed said: I've known girls who mix more in girl cliques, girls who spend lots of time with guys and girls that are loners. I don't see how 1 is more realistic than the other. Also must be nice to live in your world where missing parents aren't a thing. Reality is cruel, though they are a minority, they are a significant minority.5) They have other close female or male friends, no missing parents. Maou_heika said: Not really, you might want to check single parenthood rates in the US and Europe. Not an ideal situation.Are those some sort of western standards? |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke. She WAS too shy to talk to the guy she liked, but there's this general, not overplayed (in my opinion) sense of awkwardness and shyness about her that I found very natural and relatable, not only in myself, but in people I've come across. |
